How do I order more orange bags?

You can order bags online using the quick link above or use the yellow sticker which you will find about five bags from the end of the roll. Write your house number on it and stick it on one of your full recycling bags. The recycling crew will leave you a new roll when they pick your bags up.

You can also download a copy of the sticker below. Print the sticker out, fill in your address and tape it to your recycling bags on collection day.
